Our Sash Windows

What we do normally falls into one of the following categories –

Replacement Double Glazed Sashes.

These are made as replicas of the originals, we have tooling to produce either Ovollo, Lambs tongue or Hollow and Asterice internal moulding detail, each in 3 different sizes. The component sizes of the originals are replicated and if the existing sashes have horns, these are traced and reproduced. All of our frames are constructed using traditional mortice and tennon methods.

The thickness of the sash depends on the size of the existing frame, we can make double glazed sashes from only 32 mm thick. We can vary the depth of the internall detailing along with the thickness of the double glazed unit to suit most requirements.

We normally use double gazed units with a cavity of either 4, 6, 8 10 or 12 mm. The units have a warm edge spacer in either white or black. We always use toughened low iron glass, along with a low emissivity coating and either Argon or Krypton gas filled cavity. The double glazed units are externally puttied using a modern hybrid polymer glazing putty.

When making sashes with more than 1 pane of glass, we have a unique solution that ticks all of the following boxes.

Slim glazing bar – from only 16mm thick, Externally puttied finish, Structural integrity, Traditional through glazing bar effect, Individual pane effect.

When required, we can also use acoustic laminate glass as part of the double glazed unit, satin or patterned glass, stained glass effect and also actual new or original stained glass encapsulated in a double glazed unit.

We only use Accoya in all of our products, it is by far the best product available and anything else would be a compromise.

All of our joinery is finished using a spray applied, breathable, acrylic paint system from Teknos. It is a system that has been developed specifically for use on Accoya. We normally use their Clean White finish, but we can also use colours as required. The sashes are painted prior to the glass being installed and then the putty is overpainted by hand to give a traditional single glazing type finish.
